# Colchester Boot Sale
Colchester Boot Sale operates a year-round second-hand marketplace at the Park and Ride site on the A12 at Junction 28. Open every Sunday and bank holiday Monday, it serves both bargain hunters and sellers seeking to shift pre-owned goods in a well-organised, professional environment.
The business caters to two distinct audiences. Buyers enjoy predictable opening hours with entry at 9am (£1) or early access at 8am (£3), plus free parking and free admission for under-16s. Sellers benefit from straightforward pitch allocation with no advance booking required, choosing from cars (£13), small vans (£15), large vans (£20) or trailers (£25), with flexible early setup options from 6am.
What distinguishes Colchester Boot Sale is its commitment to quality control and seller experience. The venue enforces a strict no-buying-before-7am policy, guaranteeing early setup sellers a full hour of uninterrupted preparation. The business actively discourages new goods, positioning itself as a curated second-hand marketplace where rare and valuable items are more likely to surface. Its hardstanding surface ensures reliable operation regardless of weather, whilst the A12 Junction 28 location offers exceptional accessibility and visibility.
The site's reputation as "the region's leading boot sale" stems from consistent operations, professional management, and a deliberate focus on maintaining standards that benefit both buyers seeking genuine bargains and sellers wanting serious foot traffic.
